All This Time

Chapter One

Six years later...

"Oh my God! As in Oh my God! Look at him Sofia! Your boyfriend is so hot!" Selena my best friend since high school gushed watching E!. Noah Alexander Sinclair is the main topic today.

I sighed and look at her angrily. "How many times do I have to tell you? He's not my boyfriend anymore! We're over six years ago." I get the remote and turn off the television.

"Now shooo. I need to do something important and you need to work your ass out. Goodbye." I said to her and pushed her gently outside the door.

"Okay okay! You don't need to shoo me away. But please bff I don't want to go to the office today. My dad gave me too much head ache. I want to do something else rather than manage his boring business. Lucky you, your parents support you in everything you want." She said sadly.

I hugged her to me and soothed her. "It's okay. You know your dad only depends on you. You are the only one he got right? You only have each other. But I am also here for you bff." She nodded.

Selena sighed heavily. "Okay I'm going to the office. Thanks, bff. See you later." She kissed my cheek and went out of my penthouse reluctantly.

I sighed and sat on my couch. I turn on the television again with Noah still the topic. According to E!, Noah and Gabriela Rivolli, my co model during college, is in a relationship now. The paparazzi always caught them together having dinner or attending parties and business gathering. I know the girl.

Gabriela and I were close because we were classmates in London School of Fashion. We lost contact after we graduated.

"Why do you need to enter my mind again Noah? Why? I tried my best to forget you and focus on my studies but every time I closed my eyes, it's always you I think of?" I mumbled to myself. It's been six long years since I last saw him personally. I stalked him thru internet. It makes me sad every time I saw him with different girls. We're over. It's not the same anymore Sofia. Wake up!

I erased that thoughts and started to have a shower. I'm heading to my office today.

I left London after graduation and start my own business here in New York. Mom and Dad were very supportive.

I have my own modelling agency and clothing boutique. I named it SVM Modelling and Fashion Corp. My business will hold an anniversary party next month. Models, businessmen and famous celebrities will be there. It's a one-year anniversary party. My business is booming and for almost a year my models and clothes will be seen in any big fashion events not only here but also in Europe and Asia. I still run the catwalk but for emergency purpose only and it's very seldom. I'm so busy in the office.

After making myself presentable, I headed to the basement parking and went inside my car.

Arriving in the office, my staff greeted me, and I greeted them back with a warm smile.

Joyce, my secretary gives my schedule today. We had a lot to do specially the anniversary.

"Joyce, can you hold all my calls today except mom's call please? I'll finish everything I can." I asked my secretary the moment she put my tea on my desk.

"Yeah sure. But how about some hot guy who wants to talk to you?" she said winking. We've been close since we were in the same age and she's a bubbly girl and easy to be with.

I laughed and answered. "Nah, you know I have no time for that."

"Oh really? You have no time, or your heart belongs to someone already?" We laughed at each other and start our busy day.

I heard my tummy growled. I looked at my watch and wow it's already three. My mom will surely scold me if she learns about skipping lunch AGAIN.

I saw my food Joyce got me. It's cold already. I want something with soup. I dialed my favorite restaurant and ordered a heavy meal for me.
